Your Connection to Diabetes Patients

Diabetes Educators counsel patients on how to incorporate healthy eating and physical activity into their lives. They also help patients understand how their medications work, teach them how to monitor their blood glucose to avoid the risk of complications, and give them the ability to problem solve and adjust emotionally to diabetes.

AADE

“AADE is always a premier event for our company. The CDEs are very enthusiastic about helping their patients and always ready and willing to learn about new and better ways to do that!”

Jonathan Smedley, Novo Nordisk

An important part of the counseling process is the knowledge and recommendation of new products and services. AADE is an annual exhibition that allows Diabetes Educators an opportunity to research new products, see demonstrations, ask questions, and obtain product samples to share with their patients and staff. For many Educators, it’s the only show they attend all year. If you’re not at AADE, you’re missing a vital connection to diabetes patients.

Your products—recommended to thousands of patients in one week!

It’s after the show where the real benefit of meeting Diabetes Educators pays off. Consulting an average of 26 patients per week, Diabetes Educators make product recommendations that are a critical component of your future sales. That’s exactly the kind of return on investment that AADE exhibitors have relied on for years.
